Résumé : “Science, the supreme expression of our age, is rapidly knitting the world together in a material sense. The airplane and the radio have virtually abolished distance. Nations and races once remote from one another are now being literally jostled together . . . Race is a physiological fact, which may be accurately determined by scientific tests such as skull-measurement, hair-formation, and color of eyes and skin. In other words, race is what people anthropologically really are; nationalism is what people politically think they are . . . Can our distinctively Western civilization be successfully transplanted and generalized?”
